At the halfway point I need to stop and deconstruct Sundance 2007 for a moment.
15 down 16 to go. I am delirious with movies this year.
The audiences have been great. I've only heard one cell phone (though my friend Randy has heard two) go off mid-movie. I've only had one really bad talker experience (just because it isn't English doesn't make it less intrusive), and haven't seen anyone try to impress/bully Salt Lake volunteers with how important they are. I did have to change seats last night before "Delirious" started because someone was wearing perfume, or perfumed lotion, that was giving me one of my "shoot me now" chemical reaction headaches.
Fortunately this time and usually, those tend to clear up within a few minutes of moving away from the source of the problem, but they have made me feel for migraine sufferers.
Why would you wear perfume to a movie anyway? At least people who wear too much perfume to outdoor events are mosquito food and get a little of the suffering they deserve. I love perfume, I just have to be very careful about what I wear and never wear much so as not to offend anyone who might be allergic to it or suffer reactions to a different chemical than the ones that get me.
I've decided the snack/meal options that will help me through the rest of the week lean heavily toward protein and caffeine and away from simple sugars. I've tried to keep my evening sugar to dried fruit. That and to drink at least 8oz of water for each movie. It kept me going through five the first Saturday and I'll be testing it on six the second Saturday if things go as planned.
Except for a style point in "A Very British Gangster" and some of the animated shorts I've been lucky enough to like everything I've seen.
My favorites so far are "Ghosts", "Once," "Fido," "Teeth" and "Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten."
